About this home
SAY HELLO TO THE KEY LIME COTTAGE. A slice of Key West, with more room than you'd expect.
With lime-green siding, white trim, and a blue front door, 738 Olivia Street has a personality that carries beyond the curb. Set in the X flood zone in Old Town, this historic Conch cottage pairs classic character with two bonus spaces and indoor-outdoor living.
Framed by palms, a proper Key West front porch invites coffee, conversation, and watching the world go by. You may leave later than intended.
Inside, cathedral ceilings give the living space height and presence. The kitchen features quartz countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Impact windows and doors and mini-split cooling add comfort. Listed as one bedroom, the cottage lives well beyond its bedroom count, with a ladder-accessed sleeping loft and detached cabana providing two distinct bonus spaces.
French doors open to a large covered lanai for al fresco dining or an afternoon with nowhere else to be. Living flows into the lush tropical courtyard, making the outdoors another room of the house.
The cabana offers bonus space for a studio, workspace, or potential sleeping retreat, with an outdoor shower, half bath, and refrigerator nearby. For investors, the main bedroom and two bonus spaces offer potential for three separate sleeping areas, broadening rental appeal.
A broad, rarely used private landscaped driveway beside the home and an expansive tropical private parking lot behind it create unusual separation. In Old Town, where cottages often stand just feet apart, this breathing room is a quiet luxury. Parking accommodates a large vehicle and potentially a moped or small golf cart in front or behind it.
Duval Street is three blocks away, with Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, Higgs and Smathers beaches, restaurants, and grocery stores within biking distance. Enough nearby to fill the day. A very good porch if you decide otherwise....
